Lyrics
0:20There's a vulture perching right off screen
0:25And it's bitter and whispers chaotic things
0:30And it reached in quick ain't it worrying
0:35It's so easy to see everyone can agree stop listening
0:41I know you've heard it before
0:44But then it wasn't enough
0:48You don't wanna be held back from the substitution
0:55I know you've seen this before
0:58And now enough is too much
1:02You don't wanna be set back when the substitution comes
1:10I'm sorry
1:16You're a marionette in the center of
1:21All the twisting strings coming from above
1:26It may seem too deep to recover from
1:32It's so easy to see everyone can agree just let it go
1:38I know you've heard it before
1:41But then it wasn't enough
1:45You don't wanna be held back from the substitution
1:51I know you've seen this before
1:55And now enough is too much
1:59You don't wanna be set back when the substitution comes
2:06I'm sorry
2:13I'm sorry
2:20When the voices start spinning just be aware
2:26I have brought enough stones for us to share
2:33That one's grinning that one's burning aim for the throat
2:40Let him choke on the stones that we are to throw
3:10It's the great downfall
3:14Not the overthrow
3:17If you shoot them down
3:21It'll make you soar
3:25When reactions turn into hurricanes
3:30And the middle course seems a little tame
3:35Whether full or empty it's all the same
3:40It's so easy to see everyone can agree you're not to blame
3:50I know you've heard it before
3:53But then it wasn't enough
3:57You don't wanna be held back from the substitution
4:03I know you've seen this before
4:07But now enough is too much
4:10You don't wanna be set back when the substitution comes
4:18I'm sorry
There's a vulture perching right off screen And it's bitter and whispers chaotic things And it reached in quick ain't it worrying It's so easy to see everyone can agree stop listening I know you've heard it before But then it wasn't enough You don't wanna be held back from the substitution I know you've seen this before And now enough is too much You don't wanna be set back when the substitution comes I'm sorry You're a marionette in the center of All the twisting strings coming from above It may seem too deep to recover from It's so easy to see everyone can agree just let it go I know you've heard it before But then it wasn't enough You don't wanna be held back from the substitution I know you've seen this before And now enough is too much You don't wanna be set back when the substitution comes I'm sorry I'm sorry When the voices start spinning just be aware I have brought enough stones for us to share That one's grinning that one's burning aim for the throat Let him choke on the stones that we are to throw It's the great downfall Not the overthrow If you shoot them down It'll make you soar When reactions turn into hurricanes And the middle course seems a little tame Whether full or empty it's all the same It's so easy to see everyone can agree you're not to blame I know you've heard it before But then it wasn't enough You don't wanna be held back from the substitution I know you've seen this before But now enough is too much You don't wanna be set back when the substitution comes I'm sorry
